Hi F&G regulars and passers-by, I’m back after quite a long absence. It’s disappointing to see what happened to our (including my) content stored at PhotoBucket. Oh well, I tried to upload to Google Photos and it seems to work. This puzzle should be easy, but I had trouble finding the steps that lead to the solution (pretending I didn’t know it). SV image please. Good luck!  ![]() |

This was a bit hard, but it was worth the virtual journey, a very exotic region  |

Well done krenek and hhgygy! Almost everything in that country is named Dzong, and most maps don’t seem to know about Trashithang, so here is a clue: The road sign is just 50 kms east-north-east of this famous place:   Good luck! |

Thanks for the clue! I traversed on this road several times but keep on missing the actual spot. Your clue made it easy.  |

Well done all! The answer: The road sign is a few miles north of Punakha, which was the capital of Bhutan until 1955 (now it’s Thimpu). Coords: 27.5912° N, 89.8609° E.
The building in the clue is the Buddhist temple complex Paro Taktsang, better known as Tiger’s Nest. |
